I wrote this for my daughter when she was just a little girl, I rewrote when she told me she was getting married and it was played for the bride and bride's father's dance. (Key G)
I watched you in diapers, when you bounced on my knee
To a young girl in blue jeans so wild and so free
From stuff toys to errings you grew up so fast
Forever and ever our love it will last
Chorus
Little toy ponies, barbies and books...roller skates, swimming sweet innocent looks
You're sweeter then honey more precious then gold
God made you my daughter then destroyed the mold
I watched you crawling, then toddling...I watched you walk on your own
From your first day at school...till you first left home
Every Christmas, every birthday eveery Halloween night...
Memories all special and I cling to them tight
Charming disarming your smile melts my heart...
But a tear in your eye could rip it apart
With a hug and a kiss a "Dad tuck me in tight"
...a short bedtime story, I love you ....good night
.......a short bedtime story, I love you...Good night!
